"All the three variants of tea will be available in West Bengal to begin with followed by Odhisa, Bihar and Jharkhand by the end of FY 2017-18. We plan to have a pan India presence by 2020. We have invested over Rs 5 crore initially for this initiative. Moreover, tea boutiques, coffee, tea tourism, packaged drinking water, fruit drinks, soya chunks, spices, and wheat based staples are in cards for which we would invest approximately Rs 50 crore in the coming days. In the long run we would be expanding our product portfolio and also exporting them," said Mr Debasis Saha, Executive Director, Karukrit Group.

Karukrit Premium Agro Products have already tied up with some major tea gardens to strengthen its production capacity. Karulrit Premium Agro Products also have plans to focus on tea tourism in the coming days.
